Chapter 1196: The Reason to Fly

A soldier started the plane and turned on the valve. The aircraft immediately started to shake violently, the engine began to roar, and the propeller spun at a tremendous speed.
When the roar turned into a steady buzz, Good slowly pushed the gas lever, and the plane, as if being pulled by an invisible force, started to slide on the runway.
“Wow…” the crowd exclaimed impressively.
Good felt greatly encouraged, as he had not expected that it would really work. He was now truly operating this giant steel beast!
Good turned his head toward Princess Tilly who was sitting on the left side of the wing, her gray hair streaming behind her, a twinge of smile in her eyes. Was the princess… content with his performance? Good became more confident, believing he should have no problem passing this trial as long as he followed Tilly’s instructions.
However, the princess did not say anything.
Good cast glances at Tilly numerous times, but Tilly was determined to maintain her silence, with faint yet playful smile lingering on her lips. When the plane crossed halfway through the runway, Good suddenly came to the realization that he would probably not receive any instructions during the entire trial.
“Considering it’s your first time flying a plane, I’ll walk you through the process one step at a time.”
Princess Tilly’s promise did not apply to him who had broken the school rules.
The other students would have a second chance, but he would not.
His enthusiasm was instantly quenched by a surge of disappointment and regret.
“If you don’t make me say anything, then it definately would be your best performance.”
Good somehow comprehended what Her Highness had meant. If he could not fly the plane all by himself, he would be expelled, which was a price he had to pay for breaking the rules. If he proved his talent to the princess, then he would have some value for further education.
Could he really fly the plane on his own?
Now he had already used up two thirds of the distance, and a patch of grass gradually swam into his view, followed by the wall that encircled the airport. If he ran directly into the wall, even Miss Nana would not be able to save him.
There’s no time.
Good wanted to pull back the gas lever, as this seemed to be the only way to slow down the plane and avoid a direct clash.
However, the next moment, he felt a hand pat on his head.
“Do you like… flying?”
Rachel’s voice reverberated next to his ears.
Flying…
Yes, if he were a bird, there should be another way.
Which was to fly over the wall.
If he slowed down now, his journey would end here.
It was a second that contained eternity. Good grasped the lever and pushed it forward.
The engine instantly roared like thunder.
The wall streaked toward him!
Good jerked the plane up ten meters in front of the wall. As the plane shook violently, the runway sank below him and slid out of his sight. The patch of grass flitted below him. For a moment, Good felt weightless. The ground plummeted as he soared into the air!
“Faster! A little faster!” Good’s eyes widened as the top of the wall pressed in. He was ready to embrace the crash.
But the crash never happened.
It shot up into the sky. All the obstacles in front of him disappeared, and Good saw a view he had never beheld. The academy, the coastline, and Neverwinter far away spun below him, his mind clearer and his heart lightened as the truth of operating a plane dawned on him.
